O FUTURO DA TERRA
(The Future of the land)
(Betacam, 14 min, color, 1997)
In the 30 de Maio settlement, in Charqueadas, Rio Grande do Sul, 40 families settled in 1990 show that it is possible to resist, produce and live collectively off the land. Just one example of how generous the Brazilian land can be when men and women work while thinking of everyone’s future.

Reviews
"The director and screenwriter Werner Schünemann takes the spectators to the 30 de Maio settlement in Santa Rita, Rio Grande do Sul, to reveal the imaginary and the wishes of the children. The work of the director of photography Alex Sernambi is evident in the beauty of the images that portray with lyricism the daily life of the settlements and the children’s activities."
